Creating black and white image from colour jpg

Can anyone please tell me how to do this using fireworks?
Thankyou

Select the image/bitmap Layer.
Go to the Property Inspector > Filters > Adjust Colors > Saturation.
Drag the Saturation slider all the way to -100.
This is a mere workaround as Fw does not handle/deal in Color Spaces.

Make Black and White PDF from Color JPGs

I don't have a scanner and use my digital camera to make 2-3 page document PDFs occasionally. I take a picture of a page, crop it in an image editor, and finally drag and drop the jpgs into Acrobat to create a pdf. The problem is that these docs don't print very well because they are created in color. Is there an easy way to make them in black and white instead of color? I don't want greyscale documents, because they don't print very well either.

Grayscale would be the way to go to retain shadows and tints.
I'm dealing with text-based documents on colored paper, so shadows and tints are exactly what I don't want.
Printing a greyscale image on a laser printer produces the same result as printing the original image in full color.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you elaborate a bit?
I use a non-color laserjet. Printing a color document with a black and white printer and printing a greyscale document converted from that doc will print the exact same thing, i.e. black text with nasty grey backgrounds.

How to create black and white pdfs from autocad drawing

I am trying to create a pdf from autocad drawing with searchable text. Using the default acad pdf driver, it will create searchable text for only TT fonts with width set to 1.0. We use the monochrome plot settings so pdfs are all black, even if drawing was in color.
Using 'create pdf' from Acrobat Pro, Acrobat pro will create a pdf from the autocad drawing easily with all text searchable, shape fonts, TT fonts, no matter what the width. Fantastic. However, there is no option that I can see to create the pdf in just black and white. It creates the pdf in drawings original colors. How do I create a black and white pdf using acrobat pro? Thanks.

The only way to change the color of the printouts from your iPhone is through HP's free mobile app "HP ePrint Home&Biz". This is available in the App Store.
Simply download and install the app, choose a file to print from within the app, then press the icon at the bottom right of the screen that is a wrench and printer. This should then give you the option to choose the color output. Make your selection, press "Done", then press "Print."
If you are not seeing this option, you may need to setup ePrint for the printer and then register the app. This registration will also give you more functionality with the app.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Printer prints only black and white images from MacBook Air

I tried printing the same file with the PC and it prints ok. Whenever I print with our MacBook Air, it only prints black and white and yes it has a driver automatically installed and updated.

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guess

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guessing it's Illustrator's formatting but I don't know. How can I find out if Illustrator will open the file and allow alterations? The image opens only in Apple's Pages software?

rons,
It seems that all you have is a raster image, presumable PNG24 or JPEG, in RGB.
It may have been created as raster artwork in Photoshop, or it may have been created as vector artwork with the help of Illy, or as a mixture of vector and raster artwork in either application, or both combined.
If you just need to have a raster representation in black and white based on the current colour image, you may try this, in a new RGB document (View>Smart Guides are your friends):
1) File>Place the image (you may tick Link or untick and have it embedded);
2) Create a rectangle with black fill (R = G = B = 0), at least as large as the image, and place it behind the image (you may ClickDrag with the Rectangle Tool between opposite corners, then Ctrl/Cmd+X+B);
3) Select all and in the Transparnecy palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with both Clip and Invert Mask ticked.

How can I create a black and white image similar to what I see in the "Replace Color" tool?

Hi all, I'm just wondering how I can create a black and white image similar to what I see in the preview window of the "Replace Color" tool. See attached screenshot for clarification -- I need the grass to be black while the soil is white or vice versa. Any tips?

One way is to use Select>Color Range
Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
(Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
Put a new color fill layer below>black
Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

Inverted black and white images in iPhoto 6

After I recently upgraded to OS X 10.4.8, a number of black and white images in my iPhoto 6 library started showing up inverted (like negatives) when I open them. The thumbnails, however, are in regular black and white. This didn't happen using OS X 10.4.3. I can't seem to find a tool in iPhoto 6 to convert these images to the correct display. Do you have any explanations or suggestions?
Macintosh PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

iPhoto 6 does not work well with Grayscale. You'll need to convert them to sRGB. They'll still be black & white, but they'll have a color profile that iPhoto 6 will accept. Old Toad created an Automator application to embed the sRGB profile into your photos. Go to his Toad's Cellar and download the "Embed wRGB Color Profile 2" App. In Finder go in your Originals folder, then drop a roll folder containing these photos onto the app.

Creating black and white charts with patterns in Pages?

Hi. Does anyone know how to create black and white patterned charts in Pages (or other iWork application)? When making Charts in Pages (i have the most recent version), you can make all sorts of colored charts (bar charts, histograms, pie charts, etc.), but in preparing doumnets for publication i need all my charts in black & white. I can make histograms and bar charts using different shades of grey no problem, but i'd like to create histograms using black and white "patterns" like dots, horizontal lines, stripes, etc. Does anyone have any idea how to do this, or know where existing patterns can be downloaded for import into Pages?
Many thanks.

Don't export it as a .jpeg which is unsuitable for B&W images, blurring them as rgb files (not B&W).
Better is .tiff (compressed B&W tiff are tiny) or 1 bit .gif.
It is also possible that .pdf vector files might work but I haven't experimented with those.

How do I select a black and white sketch from a white background and keep the filled in area of the sketch? I want to copy it to a colored background. I amusing elements 12.

oesrowstreasurer
Please clarify your "Elements 12". Is that as in Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor) or Premiere Elements 12 (video editor). And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
Your question is pointing to Photoshop Elements 12 and that you have posted in the wrong forum. If this is a Photoshop Elements 12 question as I believe it is, please post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum using the following link provided for your convenience

PSE 8 coloring a black and white image

Okay, so I downloaded a free trial of PSE 8, so my experience with it is limited, which may contribute to my problem. I've watched tutorials on how to add color to a black and white photo using the paintbrush tool, though I haven't watched one for PSE 8.
I'll make a new layer, paint part of the picture, and then add another layer. But when I click a different color to paint with, it changes the color of what I already painted, even though I'm on a different layer.
Also when I tried to just save the image with one part painted, it didn't save it, and the image looked as it did originally.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
Are you using the right tool to paint on a layer?
For coloring a black and white image, you need to save different areas of your image on a different layer and then use either Paint brush or a Paint bucket tool.
It seems that you are selecting a wrong tool. For selecting Brush, press B.
Then try painting on one part of the image and then go to the the color swatch present at the end of the tools panel on the left as :
Now click on the foreground color swatch(on the top) to change the color with which you want to paint.This will not change the color of other layers on changing the color.

"warming up" a black and white image pse6

is there a way to change the tone of a black and white image to mimic the effect of using warm-tone photographic paper?

Mike,
I'm not sure what you mean by warm-tone photographic paper, but here are 2 methods I use to convert a picture to a sepia tone. They might work in your case.
For both methods, first convert the picture to RGB mode if not already so (Image>Mode>RGB Color).
Method 1
Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. In the Hue/Saturation dialog window, check the Colorize box and play around with the 3 sliders. If the result is too harsh, try lowering the layer's Opacity.
Method 2
Set the background color to white (you can type "d" to set the default B&W colors). Use the Color Picker to set the foreground color to the tone you want.
Add a Gradient Map adjustment layer with the Color Blend Mode. In the Gradient Map window select the Foreground to Background option. If the result is too harsh, try lowering the layer's Opacity. You might also try changing the layer's Blend Mode to Multiply or Soft Light (or others) to get a slightly different look.

Multiple Black and white conversion from raw or jpgs

Hi All
Any help would be appreciated.
I have 300 wedding images taken on raw and jpg. I now want to convert them all to black and white. Any way I can do this without doing it one at a time (whether using raw or jpg files)?
Hope someone has the answer or else I need to fork out £500 for CS4!!
Clive

Hi
Thanks for reply. I am able to open and convert from raw ok, what I don’t know if I can do is process multiple files that have been changed, i.e. to black and white?
I don’t think PE8 will actually do this.

Extracting Photograph Noise as a black and white layer from Photograph

I am looking to extract natural noise from a photographs material and create a black and white layer out of it, but I am new to photoshop and unsure how to proceed with this.
For example, here is a photograph of a hard plastic gun.
[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2871613/racer/G36.jpg[/IMG]
I have seen on forums where users will find a good reference image and use it to create a new black and white noise picture utilizing the reference.
For instance the hard plastic noise from the gun, might look like this once extracted and done correctly.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/wwarriorww/hard_plastic.png[/IMG]
Any ideas on how to produce something such as this?
Thank you

This is just off the top of my head... You could try something like this:
1. Duplicate the image as a second layer.
2. Run a noise-reduction tool with aggressive settings, possibly multiple times.
3. Set the noise-reduced layer to Difference.
4. Merge layers.
5. Filter - Other - High Pass.
6. Enhance the magnitude of the result with a curves or levels operation.

Random Visio Stencils Displaying Only as Black and White Lines (No colour)

I'm experiencing a strange problem where some Visio stencils/shapes are displaying only as black and white outlines (i.e. - without any colour). I'm using Visio 2010 on a Samsung NC900 laptop with 8gb RAM, 1.7Ghz i7 CPU on Windows 7.
The symptoms that I'm experiencing are:
The majority of stencils display fine in the left hand stencil window but some do not.
Some stencils display the majority of shapes as black and white outlines but some in full colour.
Some shapes display fine within the stencil window but change to black and white outline when I drag them to the drawing (These are typically ones that I open independently of the drawing - i.e. - by double clicking rather than via "Search Shapes").
I've done a search on the web for this problem and have found some similar issues but none of the suggested fixes work.
One of the stencils that I experience this issue with is the Exchange 2013 Microsoft stencil.
I've updated Java and Silverlight (stab in the dark there) and my graphics driver is up to date.
It's driving me mad now so any help would be appreciated!

The remove profile worked like a charm with the greyscale images. Maybe a slight loss of contrast, but I'll hold the tiff scan in any case. I-photo would not import the image again (already in the library) but I can remove the profile on the image in my folder outside i-photo. And I think I can prevent it at import now.
Thanks! I doubt I would ever have figured that one out.
